Ok, so I am just vain enough that I need to fancy up occasionally.  I have been a Mary Kay customer for years, and they're not gluten free.  

So, I need all the recommendations.  What products have you loved? Hated?   I'm especially interested in concealers. eyeliner, mascara, lip stain, clear lip liner, eyeshadow, and face powder. Also, face and eye creams/serums.  

Thank you!

I may not be the most qualified person to answer, but we had a site sponsor a while back called Epilynx, and we did a ton of product reviews which you can see in this category:

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-food-reviews/ 

They make a line of GF cosmetics, lotions, serums, makeup, etc.

There are a few good lines of gluten free makeup. Epilynx is good, and I have used it; also Tarte and Pur Minerals.

Skincare line I use is Alastin. The eye cream and moisturizer are great. All products really. I use them all and have no issues. Can get them online at Alastin.com  They have a great sunscreen/ tinted daily that is a great makeup base as well. It has a nice natural matte finish.

Sunscreen daily I use Elta. They have a plain and a tinted. I’ve used both. Works great as makeup base. 

Blush I use is Chantecaille cheek shade - tell the counter person that you are gluten-free. 

I use some Sisley Paris products as well- seem to be clean. Again, mention gluten-free to the counter person and they’ll go over ingredients with you. 
 

I shy away from anything that says it’s completely organic. They sometimes use barley as a later ingredient instead of gluten. Or oats.
Even though they aren’t ‘technically’ wheat according to the industry, both of those things cause a reaction in my skin.

I have not found my favorite make-up yet (don't even wear any anymore with Covid). But as far as face and eye creams and serums, I love to go all pure and natural - and not just the kind that marketing says is clean and natural. I use MIG for all of my soaps, lotions, serums, health balms and nutritionals. It is all 100% pure, toxin-free using the highest quality ingredients. The has even gotten rid of those nasty bumps on my daughter's upper arms. This is the website I use: https://migliving.com/. It is what it says it is!!

Hello! Thank you so much for asking! We have a very simple process. I wash, tone if I want, and do serum and/or facial lotion bar at night. The best part is the process is results proven, but you don't need to buy several different products. Our products are formulated from 100% pure, plant based products that work, so you don't need separate day, eye or night creams. I would be happy to share some real life testimonials if would like!

I am extremely sensitive to products and I use Derma-e. They have a really great skincare line. I’ve tried most of it and I have had no reactions. Make up is a whole different story. I’m on here looking for a good gluten free mascara because my eyes are killing me right now! Lol. Good luck on your search. I do use mineral fusion products and they are pretty good. No reactions except to their mascara. Hope this helps ♥️

For skincare, I use Alastin products, including their eye cream and moisturizer, which are fantastic. Their tinted sunscreen doubles as a great makeup base with a natural matte finish. I also use Elta sunscreen daily both plain and tinted. For blush, Chantecaille’s cheek shade is my favorite just let the counter person know you’re gluten free. I also like some Sisley Paris products again  mention your gluten free needs. I avoid completely organic products because barley or oats can cause reactions for me. I recently picked up some Alastin products from GMA, and they’ve been working really well!

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal, although this may not be the case for everyone. This article may be helpful:

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you very much for your response Scott. Apparently the second TTG Iga test was ten times the normal. I’m just surprised that there can be such a huge difference between the test results. It concerns me also that the lab has just recently changed their reporting. There are not really many/ any symptoms anymore. I was suspicious about celiac several years ago, and had my child tested then (it was negative then), so we never thought further about it as the pediatrician continued to tell us his shorter stature must be genetic even though we are average height parents. Also I did not have as much knowledge at the time. I guess we will know more after the endoscopy. It pains me to think this may have been an issue for years. I worry now if we are getting false negatives for my other children also.

      Yes, excessive neuropathy and a debilitating headache, spasms, cramps, tremors. Very much what you would expect from Parkinson or MS, only it coincides with the food and resolves 100% with a whole food AND gluten free diet. The gluten free diet was not enough on it's own I had to eliminate all processed food as well. They did the biopsy a year ago.
